For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, God is the Father of all people and His Son Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. Members strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and believe that God has a plan for all people to be happy, find meaning in their lives, and one day return to His presence. In this world with its earthly challenges, the message of Christ conveys hope, optimism and peace.
Every Sunday, members and friends come together to worship God. The service is similar to that in other Christian communities: the members sing songs, pray, preach and celebrate communion. All tasks in the church are carried out on a voluntary basis.
The Church takes Christ's commission to his disciples seriously: "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation!" (Mark 16:15).
Regardless of national or cultural origin, the Church seeks to welcome all of God's children and to incorporate Christ's universal truths into many languages, customs and traditions.
For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the family is the most important unit of any society. Eternal marriages are made in temples that can unite families and generations forever in the presence of God.
The members of the church strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ and care for the poor and needy. As part of this humanitarian service in over 100 countries, volunteers provide food, clothing, medical care and wells, among other things. In this way, millions of people all over the world receive help.
